Hey.. I decided to try this recipe even though it was not rated by anybody before. Because i found the recipe to be interesting. It did turn out excellent. I am cooking crab for the first time.. Very nice. Customizations that i made – Added 2 tsp of chilly powder, 1 tsp of black pepper powder, did not add red onion at the end. Great recipe. Thanks Roshni.
Thanks for this recipe. Reminded me of the crab curry my mom used to make. Every time I make this curry, I miss her.
